Mumbai Transport Plan Full Version

The document discusses the transport challenges facing Mumbai and proposes solutions. It notes that Mumbai's population and traffic have grown enormously, far outpacing transport development. Current systems are overwhelmed and travel times long. It then proposes an ambitious new transport plan with the goals of reducing travel times, increasing public transport use, and achieving a high average speed. The core of the plan involves creating a special public transport entity that would rapidly build out a network of different high-capacity public transport systems, funded through tax-free bonds, business contributions, and revenue from transit-oriented development. The plan aims to make public transport free or very low cost within a decade.
